Pictures have emerged which show ousted White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci dining at BLT Prime inside President Donald Trump’s posh Washington, D.C., hotel mere hours after he was relieved of his position on Monday. This is surprising in and of itself, but it’s his companion who is really raising eyebrows.

Scaramucci served as Trump’s communications director for just ten days before he was forced to resign on Monday at the request of newly-minted Chief of Staff General John Kelly. Considering the events leading up to his dismissal, and that of former Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, his dinner company on Monday evening was unexpected.

Scaramucci created a media firestorm over a profanity-laced interview targeting former Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and current White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon. Priebus, who was suspected by some to be a source of White House leaks, resigned as a result of the turmoil.
